Füchschen
Füchschen is a family-owned house brewery on Ratinger Straße in Düsseldorf's Old Town, where an alehouse 'in the little fox' is documented as early as 1640. The name Füchschen Alt dates from 1848. Theodor and Louise König bought the brewery in 1908, and the family still runs it in the fourth generation, led by Peter König jun. since 1995. After the building was destroyed in the Second World War it was rebuilt and extended onto neighbouring plots. Beside the Altbier, fermented with the house's own yeast strain, a Pils has been brewed since 2017.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
